    About this ebook

    Mercedes is just trying to make her way through life: taking classes, working her shift as a barista, and writing short stories that she never seems to finish. After a minor accident, she finds herself imbued with startling powers. She projects future events and rewrites the past, with disastrous consequences. Her first attempts to use her strange talents incite a zombie attack and bring an Egyptian goddess to life. Stunned by awesome abilities that she can’t seem to control, Mercedes wonders if she’s been cursed. Can she be cured? And if she can’t, what then?

      CHAPTER ONE

      From behind the coffeehouse service counter, the barista hollered, One espresso at the pick-up window.

      Roger pushed his chair back and pegged his way to the counter. He didn’t need the walking stick; there was nothing wrong with his legs.
